Choral works are musical compositions written specifically for a choir, which is a group of singers. These pieces can vary in style, ranging from classical to contemporary, and often include multiple vocal parts, such as soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. Choral works can be performed in various settings, including concerts, religious services, and competitions. Many choral works are based on texts from literature, religion, or poetry, and they can be accompanied by instruments or sung a cappella. Notable composers of choral music include Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Eric Whitacre. These compositions often aim to evoke emotions and create a sense of community among performers and listeners.
